Hi~ I am on the hunt for a 12x12 or 14x14 square cake stand/plateau and I can't find anything that is economical (cheap). I've tried ebay and other various avenues. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look?

Thanks so much

Could you make your own? Just get a piece of plywood cut to that size and cover it with fabric or foil. I'm pretty sure Lowes and Home Depot will do the cuts for you. I think a lot of people use foam board too which you can get at a craft store.

I didn't want to buy a square stand that I would not use much and I can't rent them here (you might check that option) So I posted a simular question last year. It was suggested to use the clear glass blocks from Lowes to make the stand. It is very cheap and you can use any number of blocks you need to make the size you want. There are a few examples in my pics and I will look for the origional thread because there were some very pretty set ups in it.

Check out your local Joann or other craft /flower store...

I was there (Joann) about two weeks ago based on a tip from someone here on CC- I bought square plant stands. They were on summer clearance for 80% off (so I got five total...two square and three round)- for less than $25!!!!!!!

You can see two of them in my photos -one is holding the Topsy Turvy cake, but you really can't see the fancy legs on that one...the other is the cowboy cake

Thank you for the suggestions. I am off to go hunting for a plant stand, great idea. I will also look into foam board. That would easier and could even be decorated a little.

thank you , thank you
